KW Sackheim Development (Sackheim) and Bradley D. Reeves (Reeves) filed preliminary permit applications, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Lake Valley Canal Project, to be located between the North Fork of the North Fork American River and Drum canal in Placer County, California. The same project is referred to as the Parshall Canal Project in the Reeves application. The Sackheim application also proposes to study the feasibility of two additional sites: (1) The Bear-Halsey drop on Bear Creek canal to the Halsey forebay in Placer County, California; and (2) the WiseRock drop on the Wise canal to Rock Creek reservoir in Placer County, California. All three of the above sites are non-generating features of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) Drum Spaulding Project No. 2310. The Sackheim application was filed on May 12, 2008, and the Reeves application was filed on April 28, 2009. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:19 Aug 26, 2009 Jkt 217001 disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners’ express permission. The Lake Valley Canal Project proposed by Sackheim would consist of: (1) The existing 8,400-foot-long Lake Valley canal between the North Fork of the North Fork American River and Drum canal; (2) an existing 30-inchdiameter, 210-foot-long pipeline serving as a penstock; (3) a new powerhouse containing a single Pelton type turbine generator rated at 1,300 kilowatts; (4) approximately 800 feet of new threephase power line following an existing PG&E road and an upgrade of 1,600 feet of existing transmission line from single-phase to 3-phase. The proposed Lake Valley Canal Project would have an average annual generation of 4 gigawatt-hours. The Parshall Canal Project proposed by Reeves would consist of: (1) The existing 8,400-foot-long canal between the North Fork of the North Fork of the American River and Drum canal; (2) an existing 2,100 feet long, 30-inchdiameter pipeline serving as a penstock; (3) a proposed new powerhouse with a single Pelton type generator rated at 1,050 kilowatts; (4) approximately 800 feet of three-phase transmission line following an existing PG&E road along the Drum canal and an upgrade of 1,600 feet of single-phase line to three-phase line. The proposed Parshall Canal Project would have an average annual generation of 4 gigawatt-hours. The following two developments are only proposed by Sackheim: The Bear River Canal-Halsey Drop development would consist of: (1) The 30-foot drop at the end of the Bear River canal and dropping down to the Halsey forebay; (2) a new powerhouse enclosing a propeller or bulb type turbine generator rated at 800 kilowatts, located at the terminus of the Bear River canal discharge to the Halsey forebay; and (3) approximately 200 feet of new three-phase power line and the upgrade of approximately 1,400 feet of singlephase line to three-phase line. The Wise Canal-Rock Creek reservoir development would consist of: (1) The existing Wise canal from the Rock Creek diversion to Rock Creek reservoir; (2) a new powerhouse containing a bulb type or propeller turbine generator rated at 900 kilowatts; (3) a 12-kva transformer and ancillary equipment; and (4) a new 700-foot-long, 12-kilovolt transmission line.
